French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[marcous]

yes, Enrique has serious problems to form his team with some problems and also good players who leave the team. it is very likely that Mbappe's departure will cause PSG's front line to experience problems. Enrique must immediately think about getting a striker with good quality. otherwise, this season could be the worst ever for a wealthy club PSG. Of course fans don't want to see that. maybe in Ligue 1 PSG can still compete, but in the Champions League when they meet strong teams they will have a hard time without a good squad.

What can be expected from Enrique as PSG coach this season, in my opinion, is to create ️A well-organized team ️mutual understanding with the team, and an individual approach to each player. take them to a qualitatively new level of play ️ and Force players to play to show their abilities to the fullest. as was done with Barcelona with perfect and attractive tactical ideas and gameplay.

Of course, PSG must continue to work hard to build a team with a strong squad when the star players have left, and everything needs a process. yes, PSG's mistake a few seasons ago was true because they hoped for an instant.

I hope that Mbappe will die at PSG soon so that Enrique's performance will be easier. Because the presence of Mbappe, who is still confusing his transfer, will disrupt the concentration of other players, especially since Mbappe doesn't feel comfortable at PSG.

The best scenario for Luis Enrique and PSG is to release Mbappe so that the focus of the other players in the squad is not divided by the contents of the transfer. There are many things that Enrique has to fix, not just Mbappe alone, my prediction is that if Mbappe still refuses to extend his contact then he will be released next season. If Neymar stays at PSG so he can be relied upon for another two or three seasons, Enrique only needs to organize the squad from the defensive and attacking midfielder sectors.

If you read the news about their transfer market, the arrival of several new players made Enrique have to let go of several players to streamline the squad, I think it is very likely that players returning after a loan spell like Icardi will be released in this summer's transfer window.

PSG need to get money from Mbappe so they will not release the player. They will not terminate the contract and let Mbappe goes away as a free agent. They can reduce price at the end to sell Mbappe but they can hold the negotiation to bargain as highest transfer price as possible.

If Neymar stays at PSG so he can be relied upon for another two or three seasons, Enrique only needs to organize the squad from the defensive and attacking midfielder sectors.

Problem with Neymar is he is very vulnerable to injury and PSG can no rely on Neymar as latest seasons show that Neymar usually was in hospital by injuries when PSG need him most.

If you read the news about their transfer market, the arrival of several new players made Enrique have to let go of several players to streamline the squad, I think it is very likely that players returning after a loan spell like Icardi will be released in this summer's transfer window.

Yeah he has to sale off many players he does not plan to use in a new future to save salary budget for the club and to have vacant positions for new players. Definitely he does not want to lose Mbappe but the future of Mbappe is not controlled by Luis Enrique.

[hahay]

Messi transferred from PSG to Inter Miami team and we can say that PSG actually did it to get rid of this salary burden. It may be a little sad for PSG that he transferred without a fee, but instead we can say that the fee he received from other players is enough, albeit a little.
PSG, who transferred Ebimbe to Frankfurt and Bitshiabu to Leipzig, obtained a total of 21.50 million euros in total from these players. PSG, who paid 159.50 million euros in transfer fees to the players they transferred, can say that they are currently at a loss of 138 million euros as a transfer balance sheet this season.

It is unfortunate indeed, but it is also proof from PSG that they really want to have a great squad. But unfortunately, the achievements PSG can achieve last season are limited to Ligue 1 only and of course, with the money that has been spent does not provide satisfaction for PSG. Moreover, next problem is about Mbappe also likely to leave for free, thus PSG maybe will lose again with a bigger loss. But yes, because for next season PSG has a new coach, then maybe it could be the right way for PSG to have a stable and more consistent performance in the Champions League too of course. Because, if next season PSG only gets the same achievements as before, then of course the key players and star players maybe will really leave.

PSG need to get money from Mbappe so they will not release the player. They will not terminate the contract and let Mbappe goes away as a free agent. They can reduce price at the end to sell Mbappe but they can hold the negotiation to bargain as highest transfer price as possible.

Of course PSG don't want to lose Mbappe without profiting from his sale. I think it would still be good to lower the price instead of letting him go for nothing, but many teams are monitoring the player's situation so far. I believe PSG will eventually lower their prices when neither team really wants to pay the amount they are asking, that is a consequence that will probably be considered.

Luis Enrique has the desire to keep Mbappe in his squad, but he has no more power than to make his wish known. Kylian Mbappe will decide his future at the end of next season, but he also has the possibility of staying at PSG if something is reached in a new deal.

Kylian Mbappe is undoubtedly an amazing footballer. Kylian Mbappe is currently one of the best attacking players in the PSG team. Therefore, the PSG authorities will not want Mbappe to leave the team, causing danger to the team.

PSG will definitely try to keep Kylian Mbppe in their squad, but on the other hand Kylian Mbappe can force PSG to let him go because they don't want to extend his contract again. There is no doubt about Mbappe's quality, it has been recognized by the world so far but PSG don't have many options to make Mbappe stay with them longer considering Mbappe only has 1 year left on his contract.

Mbappe is important for PSG, because of his quality and ability as a striker. But in any case, PSG will have to part ways with the striker if there is no agreement between the two. Kylian Mbappe is wanted by top teams, it's because of his quality.

If this wasn't a strategy move by Kylian Mbappe, it is already set in stone that he will not extend the contract with PSG, which means that they want to get a fee for him and let him go. That is what the PSG boss said and that is now almost two weeks ago. Now it depends on Khelaifi and whether he keeps his word, but he still has a backdoor because he could say that no club was willing to pay what they want for Mbappe. This transfer will take a lot more time and won't be off the table in the next week or so. They are all taking it to the limit right now and especially Mbappe is playing games.

When Psg formed the dream team, it was mentioned that they could take the UCL for a few years, but the fact that they were far from this success began to overshadow the faith of the players in the team. Moreover, there were unsuccessful matches in League 1, and they became champions by having difficulty in the league. If Mbappe, who is their best player, leaves the team for free next year, there will be thought of leaving the team for other players as well. A difficult year awaits PSG.

I've only read from some of this news that there are actually a number of problems such as Kylian Mbappe not signing a contract extension and Paris SG himself has also not provided certainty about a contract extension so that the two parties do not have clarity and all this is supported by several other problems.
I don't think Paris SG will sell him but instead Kylian Mbappe will just leave Paris SG for free.
It may seem harsh but all this is only because there are some unresolved issues till date and one other thing Paris SG has a feeling of disappointment after paying a fortune for Kylian Mbappe but not being able to get a title from the champions league.
It is possible that another strategy will be implemented here or coach Luis Enrique already knows what plans he will make against Mbappe.
If I were to guess I would predict if Mbappe will leave for free.

I'll not guess that, because PSG will not let Mbappe go for free, also they has confirmed this and in terms of the value which can they got is not small money. They will loss if they let Mbappe go for free, in business it's not a good thing, they should at least earn some money. Previously Messi left for free but not for Mbappe, because after all that man still has high value on the table.

If you read the news about their transfer market, the arrival of several new players made Enrique have to let go of several players to streamline the squad, I think it is very likely that players returning after a loan spell like Icardi will be released in this summer's transfer window.

IMO, what Enrique is facing is not as easy as we say. but if I may assume, Mbappe is still very much needed by PSG. especially now, PSG are targeting Vlahovic. suppose Vhalovic joins PSG. at least, PSG still has a very sharp front line. there is Mbappe, Vhalovic who is the center forward and Nyemar or Asensio can fill the right wing. Alternatively, Enrique rotates players according to his needs. but PSG will not allow it, because if Mbappe is not willing to sign a new contract. His future with the club is uncertain. however if I refer to other reports, as I presume. that Neymar still wants to play for PSG, at least for the next season.

As Romano said, Neymar about his future. "I hope that at PSG (next season) I have a contract, no one told me about anything. Well, I'm pretty sure with Neymar's statement, Enrique will probably include him in the list of players included in his project. Ideally, Enrique should persuade Bernaldo Silva to join PSG. Because after all, it's not possible if Silva forces him to move to Barcelona. Anyway, actually now PSG still have a pretty good squad. It's just, they still have to bring in some newcomers. And if Mbappe leaves, maybe that's even better. Because, no Again, there are players who have special features, so Enrique can focus on building a PSG squad to make it more competitive.

If they can sell Mbappe this year, they will of course make money, but if they can't, Mbappe will play for one more year with PSG and will be transferred for free at the end of the year. To avoid this, PSG will have to ask for a slightly more affordable transfer fee for Mbappe. Of course, the team that will want Mbappe will have to meet both Mbappe's salary and testimonial. That's a very high amount of money.

But, in this case the Paris Saint Germain team cannot force the player if he wants to leave, especially for a young player like Mbappe he definitely needs something that can bring him to reach a wide area of football and set new records in his football career. And the options available right now is to leave and play for a club that has wider range of competition. Keep in mind it all happens if he wants to leave, and the question is does Mbappe want to leave PSG at this time?

Nothing is certain at Parc des Princes this period, although the club bringing in new faces. PSG has lost most of their most important players this season, and they cannot afford to lose Kylian Mbappe as a free agent this summer. PSG cannot force a player to stay at the club; rather, they may convince him to stay by offering an increase in wage earnings. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi already has long-term plans for Kylian Mbappe, but the Frenchman is yet to make a decision on his career, whether he will stay with the Parisians or move to a new club where he can rewrite a new chapter in his career.

[ShowOff]

What can be expected from Enrique as PSG coach this season, in my opinion, is to create ️A well-organized team ️mutual understanding with the team, and an individual approach to each player. take them to a qualitatively new level of play ️ and Force players to play to show their abilities to the fullest. as was done with Barcelona with perfect and attractive tactical ideas and gameplay.

I think it's easy to guess what approach Luis Enrique will take to PSG next season instead of just talking about his players. Luis Enrique is a coach who relies on ball possession where he has proven this with Barcelona several seasons ago. He needs a good midfielder to build his game instead of just a striker, but still he needs good players in attack.

Apart from midfielders and wingers, I think Luis Enrique will also rely on LB and RB to support his attack. This will not be too different from the strategies of Pep Guardiola, Xavi or some of the former Barcelona coaches. But the hardest thing about PSG at the moment is the confidence in the players and the relationships between the players. Enrique has to create a great dressing room atmosphere, it's an effort that will drive more change in team play in a game.

The problem is that Kylian Mbappe's contract will expire next year and Paris SG has also been warned to immediately provide clarity whether they want to extend the contract with Mbappe or if not in 2024 Kylian Mbappe must leave for free.
I agree with you that maybe Paris SG will not let Mbappe go for free because he has such a high value but you also know star player Messi was released by Paris SG for free and it is possible that the Paris SG officials would do the same to Mbappe.
I think Paris SG is a very good financial club and if Kylian Mbappe leaves for free it won't be a problem for Paris SG because they can still buy other players with a lot of money left.
But this is just speculation and there is no full guarantee what will happen to the future of Paris SG and Mbappe, for sure as long as Neymar stays at this club, I'm sure Paris SG can still perform as well as last season and I don't think the SG coach will let the performance of this club decreased only because of problems in the players.

PSG need to get money from Mbappe so they will not release the player. They will not terminate the contract and let Mbappe goes away as a free agent. They can reduce price at the end to sell Mbappe but they can hold the negotiation to bargain as highest transfer price as possible.

When the option to let Mbappe go on a free transfer, what happens is not profitable and PSG will definitely look for other options to prevent this from happening. There is a possibility that PSG will offer a new contract for one season and then Mbappe may leave at a price that is not too expensive, this option is made so that PSG does not suffer big losses.

Problem with Neymar is he is very vulnerable to injury and PSG can no rely on Neymar as latest seasons show that Neymar usually was in hospital by injuries when PSG need him most.

Neymar has always had problems with injuries and this condition has also harmed PSG because when they need him he can't play. Compared to Mbappe, Nyamar is more likely to leave PSG because his contribution last season was clearly not productive due to frequent injuries.

Yeah he has to sale off many players he does not plan to use in a new future to save salary budget for the club and to have vacant positions for new players. Definitely he does not want to lose Mbappe but the future of Mbappe is not controlled by Luis Enrique.

PSG doesn't need to think about saving the budget because the club owner has a lot of money for this problem. Enrique needs Mbappe in the next season because this player has the best quality at the moment and although Mbappe's future is not controlled by Enrique, his arrival to PSG holds great hope for them at this time.

[Docnaster]

Messi transferred from PSG to Inter Miami team and we can say that PSG actually did it to get rid of this salary burden. It may be a little sad for PSG that he transferred without a fee, but instead we can say that the fee he received from other players is enough, albeit a little.
PSG, who transferred Ebimbe to Frankfurt and Bitshiabu to Leipzig, obtained a total of 21.50 million euros in total from these players. PSG, who paid 159.50 million euros in transfer fees to the players they transferred, can say that they are currently at a loss of 138 million euros as a transfer balance sheet this season.

I do not think that anyone will blame me if I say that PSG do not do nice calculation when it comes to transfer business.
When they suddenly hijacked Messi few years ago. I thought that messi would likely spend the whole of his career in PSG and help them to win the Champions League, but with the recent happening, we all see that Messi has left PSG and likely both mbappe and Neymar will leave the club as well. I really feel this is the right time for the club to reviewe their strategy and not base on superstars show only.

PSG where so desperate for the champions league to the point that they had to break the bank to bring in world class players into their squad but it still didn't work for them, and when they noticed it wasn't working they decided to trim the squad by letting go of some world class players that are demanding a heavy wage bill, I consider that a good idea because it would help them restrategies on a better squad that would be suitable for the coach and listen to his instructions also challenge for the champions league which they're yet to win

 since superstars like messi and ramos have left the squad, the fate of Mbappe and neymar are yet to be decide, although rumours have it that neymar could move to an English team, but due to the extention of his contract in 2021 i don't think he'll likely leave yet and Mbappe on the other hands is still having talks with Realmadrid and a move could likely happen because he's would be free in 2024 and PSG would want to cash in him and not losing him for free.

PSG always go for the trending players, instead of looking for new young talents that are anxious to play for elite teams, they throw away all of that and focus on already established big names in football, which is why they are where they are today. The president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, is only interested in the stars; he keeps making the same mistakes, which causes the club to fall behind elite clubs in more competitive tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League. The Parisians first brought in Neymar Jr, who they felt would deliver them the Champions League, but nothing worked, so they went for Leo Messi, who everyone anticipated would do even better, but that was precisely when their chances of winning became more bleak.

[emrecemsan]

While Lens are about to compete in the Champions League group stage they have lost one of their most critical players who is Openda. If Leipzig weren't a part of the Champions League then maybe their job would be easier to keep him. But as the conditions are equal of course I understand why Openda wanted to sign for Leipzig. Lens haven't been a consistent team to be competitive for the Ligue 1 title for some time and make it to the Champions League as well.

But Leipzig are one of the most consistent teams in the Bundesliga. They have a way more promising squad as well. I started to think Openda did the right thing for himself.
